Coyote question

[HPBTMTCH]

Loki, sounds like you have some critters to deal with. Coyotes i have seen will catch a rabbit and carry it back to their pups this time of year, or will take it some place in the woods to eat it, and will pretty much gobble the whole thing down so it`s possiple it`s a domestic cat or dog. However, I don`t know how they would act if they have all the rabbits they can eat. As far as territoial goes, they normaly digest their meal, and leave that behind, lol. Calling a coyote that is`nt hungry is a bit of a challenge as well, you would have to use a pup distress, or howl, so the neighbors may not be amused. And then getting close enough to use a bow, are you good at hitting running targets? Because they usually charge in and back out just as fast with a pup call. How close are the nieghbors, are you inside city limits? If not, a 12 guage shotgun from an elevated position and #5 shot turkey load would be effective, or maybe an "urban" goose gun might work. And then you have another problem, are there any "bunny huggers" next to you, and how would they react to finding a dead coyote on there property that ran off after you shot it, with the arrow still in it of course (if it`s warm, trust me, they will find it). You might call the DNR in your area and ask them to come out, or maybe a dog warden and see if they will set a live trap for you. Any other questions, i`m sure someone here will try to have an answer for you, good luck.
